New Road Trip, New Trial

I’m sitting in the car, waiting to begin another long road trip, and in keeping with recent practice, this will be another chance to test my hands-free learning tools. But in light of my current ALG experiment, there will have to be some changes to the plan.

Norwegian Crime Kids

With my recent experiments in ALG-style language study, I needed to shift gears in my Norwegian reading practice. Instead of reading adult-oriented books and using translation tools to help me over the rough parts, I’m embracing kids books and white-knuckling my way through them without a safety net - no dictionaries, no translations, just context and guesswork.

Today I finished my first one, and thought I’d share some notes about this new approach.
